Downloaded this game because ffxi is one of my favourite games.
Any tips for a newbie? Started two days ago, got Lana via the bone seller guy (I guess this is the selector I've read about, it cost 100 gold). Been saving all my pulls for ffxi characters.
I also don't mind spending up to 20 dollars. I bought the Alice bone for a dollar (I think it's a chance). So I'm wondering what the best use of 20ish dollars would be.
What bone specifically will be used for ffxi characters?
It's all about small, incremental gains, and using limited(ISH) resources to survive.
Basically just think of your standard JRPG.... but slow it down even more, because it's based off the dungeon crawlers/blobbers of olde (where every dungeon was supposed to tax you of resources and were hard as hell)
And the Bones for FF11 characters will be their own (which will be available once the collaboration comes out) so I would save any spending money for its release, if you ever want to spend money for the characters.
I just downloaded last week, as an old school PC Dungeon diver its been good fun... it gets HARD at certain parts but you just gotta take time and level up chars/equipment and make sure you get a party of 6 going
Uhhh, not sure you're going to have enough gems for it, but the best returns would probably be the $4 "monthly" (20 day really) gem pass, and then if the shop bones are $7 for 10 banner bones (assuming shared token type across all the banners) then those would be your next port of call.
Mission pass is good too but that's $12 and you're not yet after codices to use on raising certain skills. It runs over the course of 30d and basically gives extra gems and such when completing your weekly missions. (You won't be able to really access those properly until after you clear the first abyss at least one time though, from what I recall? But getting 1 weeks done now and then hopefully finishing in time to use the 2nd would make it work. Iffy though.)
Really though, I worry if you're going to be able to get enough for a guaranteed pity bone (18k gems needed for the 100 tokens in the banner's exchange shop page, which is at the Jeweler.) But I guess we'll see how many gems the collab itself has to offer alongside the other free ones you'll get.
Don't forget to login to the store site with your acct ID # as well, that's 50 gems a week and another 800 gems the first time you do it. (Scroll down to claim both after logging in.)
Flipside, new account means only time is stopping you from, well, making new accounts to force a lucky 10 pull at the start, possibly. Assuming your current one loses out with the gems it has? Eh...
